SEC filingRPC delivered robust revenue growth of 36.6% to $454.8M driven by higher activity, but profitability eroded sharply with operating income down 78.8% to $2.6M due to pricing pressures and segment headwinds in an oversupplied oilfield services market.
Cash flow generation faced pressures reflective of these profitability challenges. Net cash provided by operating activities totaled $31.2 million, down from $39.9 million, primarily due to unfavorable working capital changes coupled with lower net income. Capital expenditures remained steady at $32.1 million, in line with the prior year's $32.3 million, as the Company continued its multi-year systems transformation program, including ERP and supply chain upgrades with some costs capitalized. This resulted in free cash flow of negative $932 thousand. Management emphasizes free cash flow as a key liquidity measure and expects to fund obligations from operating cash flows, existing cash, and revolving credit flexibility if needed.
